I hope it's France, then Italy, Germany, Portugal. What I think will actually happen though, is France and Germany will take out Portugal and Italy. Although I think the Italy vs Germany game may go to the wire. The final being between Germany and France will be interesting. They both knocked out big opponents in Argentina and Brazil respectively, which could arguably have been one of the more likely scenarios for the final. I have to say I think it will be France though. If both teams are at their best, France will outclass the Germans. And the playoff for third place. I don't think Portugal stand a chance against Germany if they happen to be there (going on the strength of the squad and the home advantage), and if everyone is at their best, Italy would beat them too.
I still have to draw back to the point that, with the exception of Italy, the semi-finalists this year are a complete shock, and on paper, the other three really should've been knocked out before now. I doubt many people would've thought, at the beginning of the tournament, that it would look like this now! It's interesting, certainly.
